You know what sucks? Trying to update while an electrician is turning power on and off to find out what powers what. Anyways, I thought I’d let you all know what’s going on…

Decided to go back to my older kits and glue together some of the more troublesome parts. SD Wing Zero has his V-Fin and “ears” glued on. The ears were a lot harder to do than I anticipated. Once they dry, I’m going to reassemble the head.

I also did some work on my HG GvZ kit. The thrusters on the Gundam’s backpack kept falling off, so I glued them into place. Same with the V-Fin. For the Zaku, I glued the commander’s fin into the replacement panel, (just so it couldn’t get separated and lost) and I had to glue the Machine Gun’s eye-piece into place. Somewhere along the way while I was originally assembling it, I think I broke part of it, or cut too close, and the eye-piece never sat in the gun correctly. So I decided to glue it into place, as I don’t ever see a need to have it move. Been thinking about gluing together some of the hands that hold the weapons, but I haven’t decided about that one way or another.

And, since I had the camera out, I thought I would post, for the first time anywhere, my first Master Grade & my first RX-78-2! So far I’ve done a lot of the frame, except for the arms. It’s just snap-fitted, but it’s coming along!

Finally, we get to my backlog. Been wanting to post this for a while now, but I haven’t been able to get any good photos of it lately.

Both are WIP, and are only prebuilds. (Check their galleries for more images.) Burning is still on my worktable, as I want to finish prebuilding and cleaning his nubs so I can get an airbrush and paint him. Once I’ve finished cutting my teeth on the Burning Gundam, I’ll do some runner tests, then paint the Unicorn Gundam. Really looking forwards to that, since those two kits will be preludes to my building & airbrushing my RX-78-2 One Year War (Game Edition) kit. After that, Zeong is gonna get some love. After that, I’m not sure what to do.

I also have a 1/1700 Scale Musai to build, but that looks like it’s going to be a bit tricky. I thought the kit was going to be bigger than it actually is… If I can get another project in soon, I’m hoping to get a 1/400 scale Musai and/or White Base. Not sure where I’ll put them, but I would love to have them. Anyways, all this is leading up to the kit that I want to spend the most time & skill on, my 1/60 scale AV-98 INGRAM Patlabor from the first movie. This is an OLD kit, as in, it was printed/made in 1993. In trying to research it, I could only find one website that even MENTIONED this kit, so I want it to be perfect.
